How to clean out my coffee machine?
HI – I am finding my Breville coffee machine a little sluggish (happened a couple of times). That is, the steamer didn’t start dripping when the machine was switched on (should start dripping about a minute after). A friend who is a coffee fanatic told me to use a mixture of lemon juice and ? (forgotten) but I was not willing to waste lemons for this (and the method seemed complex).
Can anyone advise me what to use and how to do it?
I’ve never heard of using lemons, but I have used white vinegar and had very good luck with that. I fill my coffee pot up half way with white vinegar and dump it into the water resevoir and let it run through the pot. I then dump another half of a coffee pot into the water resevoir and just let it sit there for a few minutes to help soak anything that might be inside the resevoir. I then run it through again and if you can do it, turn the coffee machine off half way through the drip process to help clean out the other parts of the machine. I then run 2 or 3 pots of water through the coffee machine to clear out all of the vinegar and gunk and the coffee runs and tastes better.
